Duet

from $21.00

Type: Hybrid Tea

Brand: Herbert Swim

Availability: Preorder for 2024

Feminine but not ‘girly’, Duet is a popular and modern looking two-tone rose. Dark pink petals in the centre soften to a paler pink at the edges. The large blooms usually grow on a single stem but can also flower in clusters. Duet is hardy, disease-resistant, grows vigorously and flowers profusely. Duet makes a wonderful cut flower (although does open quite quickly) and is ideal for mass planting for a spectacular display. It grows to about 1 metre high.

From SA Rose Society page:
Duet has now been in cultivation for over 50 years, having been bred in the USA by Herbert Swim in 1960. Its name refers to the two shades of pink, with the deeper pink on the reverse side of the petals. The rich coral pink colour on the face and attractive hot pink on the reverse was a real colour breakthrough when this rose was introduced. Each flower consists of 25 to 40 petals and is around 10cm in width.
Flowers are borne mostly solitary and occasionally in small clusters on strong, straight stems. A soft tea rose fragrance is another alluring quality. It is very quick to repeat flower with regular removal of spent blooms.
Duet is a tall, vigorous, very disease resistant Hybrid Tea rose growing up to 1.5m to 2m in height and 1m to 1.5m wide. It has proven to be a popular cut flower with a long vase life. It performs extremely well producing an amazing volume of roses from its initial spring flush through summer and autumn and into early winter.
Duet thoroughly deserves the many awards it has received in rose trial grounds and it has not waned in popularity since its introduction. This rose is highly recommended.

Potted Rose Supplied in Plastic Pot or Gro Bag. May be supplied as a recently potted dormant plant during Winter while into Spring and Summer will be well established and pos-sibly flowering. A potted rose will be settled long enough to establish that it has a good sur-vival rate. Protect from frost and keep well watered.

Bare-Root Rose will be supplied only in damp paper with sawdust, sphagnum or peat moss and as the name suggests with bare roots ready to plant and must be planted immedi-ately after soaking for 24 hours after arrival. Bare-root roses have more risk of non-survival than a potted rose and generally one would expect 80-90% survival rates.

Water well and often with no fertilisers at planting for approx. 3 weeks until established.

Expect 2-4 working days express and 4-21 days parcel post after we have notified that your order is ready and has been consigned. Courier destinations to major centres normally overnight to 4 working days after notification. During busy periods or if goods need to be propagated or wait for bare root season there can be lengthy delays. We will notify as much as we can of any delays. Expect 3 to 6 weeks lead time for most orders. Depending on season and availability it can be only days or can be a long wait even years for some varieties. These will list as available by pre-order. For weekends and Public holidays please note that we will avoid any holdover in depots where we possibly can.

Please refrain from contacting us where possible regarding when the delivery will arrive. There is a chronological system in place that ensures customers receive their deliveries in turn. The list of orders is always on screen and constantly monitored for items ready to leave. If you’ve not received a notice that your order is coming it’s most likely not ready yet. Please check if your item is listed as “in stock” or “pre-order” They will both most likely say available. In stock generally means it is in stock at the nursery now. However bear in mind that stock moves very quickly and those changes may not be up to the minute. Best to check stock first if it’s important. Email eumundiroses1@gmail.com In the subject write “CHECK STOCK”. The email will be given priority.
Available by pre-order means you will need to wait until that item returns to stock. This could be a matter of days or can be up to 3 years or more for rare or in high demand difficult to produce varieties. Again please also “CHECK STOCK” Occasionally you may be pleasantly surprised. The stock can be here and not yet entered into inventory. Once an order is paid we do not refund.

Urgent orders will be treated as such where marked on the order itself with the date required.
